The NFL’s annual chase for veteran quarterbacks begins when the Indianapolis Scouting Combine opens on Tuesday and sets the stage for general managers, coaches and agents to scheme how to match starters with new teams.
This year’s scheming around Indianapolis comes with the added hope that maybe there’s a big prize at the end of the exercise, because last year the Seattle Seahawks began to gather information that led to them trading their starting quarterback Geno Smith and feeling out new starter Sam Darnold’s free agency price point at the Combine.

The Canadians have a massive rest advantage ahead of the quarter-final matchup with Czechia, who they’ve already handily beaten 5-0 in the preliminary round.
This might be the best Canadian team ever iced, and finding an anytime goal scorer with this elite group is easy pickings. Another half-dozen goals is very possible.

Whether you feel it starts with the big guys blocking up front on the offensive line or the rushers in the backfield, we can all agree the New Orleans Saints run game needs improvement. Being able to lean on them would make life much, much easier for second-year quarterback Tyler Shough. Whether it’s forcing teams to crowd the line of scrimmage or pummeling defenses into exhaustion, a strong run game can put Shough and his receiving corps into favorable situations.
One free agent running back to watch out for is Pittsburgh Steelers breakout Kenneth Gainwell.

The arithmetic of Europe can feel abstract until results begin to shape the road ahead. Now, with Galatasaray’s emphatic first leg victory, the possibilities feel sharper, as reported by Liverpool.com.

Arne Slot’s side have avoided the play off round by finishing in the top eight during the league phase. That buffer matters. It allows Liverpool to watch events unfold rather than scramble through an additional tie.

The window to place the franchise tag on players has arrived, yet the first day proved to be uneventful. The Cowboys did not use it on wide receiver George Pickens, giving hope to many that a long-term deal could be worked out between the two sides.Doing so would avoid a drama-filled offseason Dallas fans have been accustomed to enduring, but there’s plenty of time for the tag to still happen.
The team will introduce new defensive coordinator Christian Parker to the Dallas media on Tuesday, providing clues as to how the team will approach free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft.

Betway Premiership outfit Stellenbosch FC have explained the reason behind strengthening their defence with the signing of Olisa Ndah.
The Nigeria international arrived in the Winelands as a free agent after mutually agreeing to part ways with Soweto giants Orlando Pirates last month.
This came after the 28-year-old defender fell down the pecking order, owing to his constant unavailability due to persistent long-term injuries.

Connor Bedard wasn’t planning on being sidelined for the Winter Olympic break.
But the expectation of making Canada’s Olympic roster went out the door when he injured his right shoulder in the final seconds of a loss against the St. Louis Blues on December 12. He missed 13 games due to the injury, and when he returned to the lineup, didn’t take faceoffs
Instead, as Team Canada zeroes in on medal contention, Bedard is rested and ready to take faceoffs again for the Blackhawks.

MILAN — It happens every Winter Olympics, the curling renaissance. For two-plus weeks in February, Americans south of Canadian border states remember that curling exists. Riding a wave of patriotic fever and a strong belief that they too could be Olympic-level curlers, Americans fall in love with the sport … right up until the torch goes out. 
This year, curling aficionados are planning to keep the love going. Shortly after the Olympics wrap up in late February, the Rock League will launch.

KALYANI: Jammu and Kashmir stand on the brink of history. They have ample reason to believe they can make their maiden Ranji Trophy final as Bengal dug their own grave on Day Three of the Ranji semifinal at the Bengal Cricket Academy (BCA) ground here on Tuesday.

However, what followed was beyond the credible. In a blink-and-miss second session of play, Bengal were reduced to 77/6 in 20 overs at tea.

“The truth is that it cannot happen. We’ve been told that the boy called him ‘monkey’ with the shirt covering his mouth. Then he says he didn’t say anything, that he said ‘faggots’, but it doesn’t matter. We’ve talked as a team and Vini told us we had to keep playing. I don’t know what to say. We’ll talk. That cannot happen,” said the midfielder.

Qarabağ vs Newcastle United – Match preview and team news

Newcastle United’s journey into the UEFA Champions League knockout phase begins with a historic and gruelling 2,529-mile trip to Baku to face Azerbaijani side Qarabağ on Wednesday.

The Magpies missed out on automatic qualification for the Round of 16 despite a respectable league phase campaign. While Eddie Howe’s men finished 12th in the new-look league phase, they now face the first Azerbaijani side ever to reach the knockout stages of this competition.

Newcastle United XI vs Qarabağ – Predicted lineup and team news

Newcastle United head to Azerbaijan on Wednesday for their first-ever Champions League knockout appearance, facing Qarabağ FK in the play-off round first leg.

The Magpies have moved into a historic phase of their European campaign, having finished 12th in the league phase with 14 points. Manager Eddie Howe oversees a side that has shown “resilience on the road” recently, securing back-to-back domestic away wins.

Australia’s shock group-stage exit from the T20 World Cup has sparked widespread outrage, with critics tearing into their bowling depth and branding the campaign “shambolic,” while former spinner Brad Hogg delivered the most damning verdict: “We probably deserve what we’ve got at this stage.”

Vinicius Junior scored the only goal as Real Madrid beat Benfica 1-0 away in Lisbon in the first leg of their Champions League play-off.
However, the match was overshadowed by controversy. After scoring early in the second half with a powerful shot into the top corner, Vinicius celebrated by dancing in front of the home fans and was given a yellow card.
Soon after, Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni appeared to say something to him. Vinicius reported to the referee, Francois Letexier, that he had been called “mono” (Spanish for monkey).

A dominant India will be hoping that Abhishek Sharma rediscovers his destructive form and that the rest of the batting lineup steps up against spin when they take on the Netherlands in their final T20 World Cup league match on Wednesday. Despite being one of the most dangerous batters over the past 18 months, Abhishek has yet to make a big impact in the ICC event at home.
After a duck in the opener, a stomach infection kept him out against Namibia. He returned for the high-stakes clash with Pakistan but again failed to score.

Barcelona teenager beats Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. in headline stat
Lamine Yamal may have faced a frustrating night against Girona, but the Barcelona winger continues to prove that setbacks do not define him. 
The teenager missed a penalty against Girona recently, yet, instead of shrinking under the spotlight, the Barcelona star was continuously trying to change the game.
At the start of the second half, Yamal came out with clear intent. He repeatedly attacked down the right flank, looking to make up for his earlier mistake.

Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam has made a name for herself at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milan/Cortina d’Ampezzo. She won the gold medal in the women’s 1000 metre speed skating, and silver medal in the women’s 500 metre speed skating.
The reasons why Leerdam is making a name for herself go beyond her on ice accomplishments. She has 6.3 million followers on her Instagram account, and is in a high-profile relationship with American boxer and social media influencer Jake Paul.

🚨 UEFA already investigating Prestianni’s racist incident against Vinícius
The tension experienced in the last encounter between Benfica and Real Madrid has reached the offices in Nyon.
Following the public complaint by Vinícius Jr on the field, UEFA has issued an official statement to clarify its stance on the alleged racist insults made by the Argentine player Gianluca Prestianni.

According to the Brazilian’s account, the Benfica player called him “monkey” while covering his mouth with his shirt to avoid being caught by the cameras.

Pakistan’s T20 World Cup campaign has reached a critical juncture. A win against Namibia in their final league fixture on Wednesday is non-negotiable if Salman Agha’s men are to keep their Super 8 hopes alive. Anything less, and their tournament ends prematurely.
The pressure has mounted quickly. After bold claims that this was a stronger outfit than the one that faltered against India in the Asia Cup, Pakistan suffered a familiar 61-run defeat on Sunday. While their clashes with India in the 2022 and 2024 T20 World Cups were tight, they still fell short.
